Theoretically, it should support those, but I haven't tested it. Basically, anything you can represent with one character it should be able to handle. Things like Insert, Delete, Numpad1, etc, you can't represent with a single character, so it doesn't support those keys.

Re: MIDI2KEY - MIDI keyboard to LOTRO music system utility (v0.9.0.0)

How does this even work? When I try to run the program, I get an error message saying, "ERROR: Sorry about this, but I can't seem to find any MIDI input devices installed in your computer. My advice: check to make sure you have drivers for it installed properly. Beyond that, I can't help ya, I'm afraid. :-("

Are you saying that I MUST have some sort of third-party plug-and-play thing for this to work?

Re: MIDI2KEY - MIDI keyboard to LOTRO music system utility (v0.9.0.0)

First of all thank you, this program works great.

I would love to see more arpeggo functionality:
- Tempo for Arpegiation.
- Octave Range: the ability to pick 1-3 octaves
- Differnt Patterns: Random, steping(2 notes up, 1 note back, etc)
- Being able to bind a few extra keystrokes to toggle various settings

All I have to say is THANK YOU!
When I started tinkering with the music system I though to myself, "How could I make this easier to play?"

Then I too tried mapping out the keys just like the white and black keys on a piano but it was quite unwieldy to play. I thought to myself, "I wonder if there's a way to do this with a MIDI keyboard, it would take some programming but I bet it's doable." Well I guess I was right and great minds think alike. I'm going into storage to dig out my MIDI keyboard but then again I may just buy a new $50 3 octave KB from my local music store (which has a built in USB as well). I'll definitely be coming back here to find people to jam with in game.

Re: MIDI2KEY - MIDI keyboard to LOTRO music system utility (v0.9.0.0)

This is fantastic. Just got into the game today, discovered the pretty neat music system. Google "lotro midi" found this thread. Within 5 minutes I had my lotro remapped, and the ini setup, and was jamming away.

Works flawlessly, Thanks for the great program.

Now if only we can get people to turn off their quantizing, because it sounds horrible.

For those who do not know. Quantizing moves notes to a bar. For example, lets say the lotro quantize works on a 4/4 beat. if you hit a note between beats 1 and 2, it will move the note to beat 2. Delaying the note, and possibly making it sounds REALLY awful.

The quantize might not be so bad if they could add a tempo section where you can place a set tempo and a metronome to follow. This would even things out a bit. but trying to guess makes it impossible to work with.

This is funny; I have a midi pickup on my guitar and so I tried this program to find I could control the movements of my player with my guitar....in fact I can type with my guitar now into a text file....kind of fun....

Same here I tried to connect my Yamaha only to find that they removed the input >:0
But I bet there some USB converter for it. Maybe I should get a new cable, because the starter kit that the cable came with was for Windows 98!

Haven't had the chance to look close at this because I'm at work but if what midi2key does is interpret between midi sent from a midi controller like a music keyboard and turn it into computer keyboard info then there are a few shareware utilities that do this. I have a freeware app that does this to trigger video from my Axiom keyboard during Ableton Live music sets.

I'm replying to this ancient thread for no reason other than gratitude--and to say that this thing still works! I recently got a truly ridiculous keyboard, and have been having a huge amount of fun using it to play freehand in LotRO. I had some initial difficulties, but once I thought things through it all began to behave very well indeed.

Guys i dont get it.. i connected my midi keyboard its a CASIO WK-3300 , running the app .. but the notes are false... how to map them what i need to do please explain. Do i need to edit keys ingame also to match the keymap.ini ?
